Share what you know about the year you were born.

Eight Two featured a lot of events. From the University of Washington beating Iowa in the Rose Bowl, 28-0. Hank Aaron and Frank Robertson were elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.

In New York, the MTA started the 5 year upgrade of the subway system.

Pope John Paul II was praying to the lord above for an end to martial law in Poland and Bryant Gumble became the co-host of NBC “Today Show”.

On the more morbid side of things- ATT divested itself of 22 Bell System companies. Ozzie is biting off the head of a bat in the UK and Real corpses were being used in film Poltergeist.

JoBeth Williams, the actress who falls in the pool with the skeletons, was not made aware that they were real skeletons after she finished shooting the scene.

I venture to imagine that was also the look on my mother’s face when she abandoned me in 1982. 🤣😂

Oh well- no one needs parents anyways!
